This film is adapted from the Osaka chapter in the suicide city comics. Perhaps the O in the film title is the abbreviation of OSAKA.
Slaughter City is a comic that I have always liked very much. The bloody killings, heavy-tasting depictions, graceful female bodies and wonderful alien settings in the comics are full of cult styles, which makes people like it very much. Among the relatively independent stories of Slaughter City, the most impressive is the Hyakki Yakyu Battle in Osaka. This battle against aliens with strength against the sky must be reversed and reversed, there must be scenes, sensational and sensational, 18X and 18X. . . It's so exciting! I like it very much. And this film also happens to be CG production of this most popular plot.
The effect created by CG is very shocking. In order to further strengthen this shock, the movie also presents the plot of Okahachiro driving a giant armor and a giant bull monster. . . In an instant, there is a sense of sight of the Pacific Rim (but I can only see the ability of the armored robot in the film...). The effect of the gravity field is also very realistic, especially in the part of the Osaka duo's Tengu. CG fully embodies the effect of the gravity field incisively and vividly. The scenes of Hyakki Yakou are also very good. Although it lacks some scenes in the original book, it also reflects the scale of Hyakki's oppressiveness very well. The famous monsters, cow ghosts, flying heads, meat wall, etc. have appeared. . With the iconic night view of Dotonbori, it has a strong sense of substitution.
The presentation of the little BOSS Tengu and the final BOSS sliding scoop is the most exciting. Tengu’s oppression given to the Gantz team is to face the pressure of the attack. The tiger is full of fists, and has a strong defensive ability. This image has basically reached the limit of the imaginable monster's ability. But the threat that the sliding scoop poses to GANTZ is another way. The sliding scoop has a diversified element reorganization function. The author’s imagination is bound to be vividly manifested, and the sense of oppression is full of pressure, and the readers feel very desperate, especially the monster form composed of many female bodies, a vivid post-classical female body hell image, I have been surprised in the comics, and the CG image can be described as shocking. . . The reduction is great!
Compared with the super high-quality pictures and scenes, the plot of the film is relatively weak. Because it was originally an excerpt from the original work, in order to avoid too much connection with the plot of the original work, some characters have been deleted from the film, some of which are still very important, which makes the plot of the literary drama in the film too thin. The plot has been running in a panic in the vicious circle of Daguai upgrade. . .
The film’s first male protagonist, Kato Masaru, is the second male protagonist in the original, and the first male protagonist Keuno Ke only appeared in the beginning and end of the film. Without Kee Keuno, Lixiang’s sister can only become A vase that contributes to milk shake.
The Tokyo team in this film can be described as shabby, except for the prospective rookie Kato Masaru, Nishijoichiro who hates ghosts and chickens, and there are two dispensable fighting five scums, Lixiang and old man, such a one. The standard incomplete formation, coupled with the loss of the main force of the Osaka team, can actually win the perverted boss like the skater?! In the second half of the movie, I began to doubt the rationality of the plot. The powerful characters such as the super power duo and Kaze Ozaemon in the original work did not appear, and there is indeed a little regret. Especially the role of Fudazaemon, who can dig out more sensational literary drama, I don't know how it was deleted like this.
In the original book, the Osaka team is strong, but in the film it is mainly Okahachiro. The arrogant duo also has four wives (the rest are passersby). Among them, the unmarried mother and Kato Katsura have a good interaction, which is also the median of the film. Where much warmth lies. But the other soul of the Osaka team in the original, Kazuo Kuwabara, was deleted. That buddy is the biggest highlight of Osaka. At first, I was looking forward to seeing Kuwabara and the guy fight the two girls and the female body hell. Morphological. . .
Generally speaking, Slaughter City O is a fan-oriented, high-quality comic reproduction, very good comic CG works, in most details of the film has a high degree of original reproduction, there is no lack of on this basis A more insightful imagination, shocking scenes, and exquisite CG, but the film still considers the needs of non-comic audiences in terms of key characters and plot settings to a certain extent, blurs the distinctive personality of the characters in the original, and weakens the original. A very brilliant three-legend story. . .
It may be because of the high expectations. Seeing that these characters do not have these plots, it feels empty. . . .
